Exit Polls: Majority of Americans Believe Government 'Doing Too Much'

According to the first batch of exit polls, a majority of Americans — after four years of President Barack Obama — believe the government is doing too much.

Fifty-three percent of voters believed government is “doing too much” while 41% said government “should do more.”

Four years ago, these numbers were flipped, with 51% of Americans in 2008 saying government “should do more” while 43% said government is doing too much.

Obama, of course, rammed through Obamacare and tried to pass Cap and Trade legislation, which, along with his other big government tendencies and excesses, seems to have pushed Americans into wanting more limited government.
